Is it enough to be a moral person?

Isn’t there more?

Being what some would define as moral does not mean your kind. But as a Christian we are to be kind, gentle, humble. And what’s more to love our enemies.

I don’t know of anyone who is seen as simply moral, who also loves their enemy. Marcus Aurelious was known as a moral leader, his writings about stoicism are still read, studied, and followed. Often by those looking for a moral guide to life. Yet this was a man who had no problem persecuting Christians of his day, because they were the other.

We are called to more than just a moral life. We are called to be more. Christian ethics mean to be not just good people, but to be a reflection of our Creator.
